MWC/Crius Left Rear Motor power is much less than the rest

Post by daronj »

Not sure where to go with this so I was hoping to get some advice here. I am using a MWC/Crius multiwii lite board and the issue is that at full throttle, my left rear motor signal is much less than the others. This is indicated by the config software (screen shot attached) as well as in practice when I try to fly the quad. That motor barely spins up. I tried to verify that it wasn't the motor or esc by unplugging all of them and checking the signal in the config software. Still way low on left rear. I have two controllers so I swapped them out and they both do the same thing. I'm assuming it's the firmware somehow as they are both using the same code. However, I loaded 2.1 and 2.2 and get the same thing. Kinda at a loss and hoping someone can offer some advice.

Thanks.

Check the TX value Reads...
Roll to Left .
Yaw To left.
Pitch Back..

It's natural motorvalues for The Uncentered sticks!...

Looks to me like you skipped a setup step.
You need to remove your props and center your TX trim tabs. Then use your TX SUBTRIM to get the center of Pitch, Roll & Yaw to a value of 1500. After you get the center correct use the TX TRAVEL ADJ to get the ends from 1000 to 2000.
Right now your TX is trying to pitch, roll & yaw all at the same time.

Hi all
I have the same problem. When I arm the motors their perfect all spin at 1150 but soon as I power up a couple of motors run slower.
All my trims are centered, my sub trims are on 0 and my throttle and rudder I have end points set at 110 so the arming works.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
Paul.
